removed before making connections. Use c aution when handling optical cables: ey are delicate!
S-Video Jack and Cable
S-Video jacks and cables provide the best non-HD picture quality. You will still ne ed to connect the left

carries the picture signa l, not sound.

S-Video jacks. e DIRECTV R eceiver’s A/V jacks are color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio
and white for left audio). If your TV has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white)
audio jack on the DIRECT V Receiver.
